succession certificate is applied under section 372 of Indian succession Act 1956. You have to apply to the civil court with the names of all other heirs of your late relative as the respondents in the matter. Normally a newspaper notice is also issued apart from mandatory notice to the respondents. Upon the expiry of the time period (normally 1 and a half months) from the date of publication of the notice after the respondents have given their no objection, the court passes the orders for issuance of the Succession Certificate in your name, for which you have to pay a nominal court fee(as per the prescribed court fees structure) in the court, whereafter the Certificate is typed by the court staff, duly signed and sealed and delivered.

Legal heirs do not get any certificate to that effect from any court. It is issued by the Administrator General of the state or by the village office or the Taluk office as per the requirements. But District Court issues succession certificate or Letter of Administration if the property or amount involved is huge.
